There's no place like home for the holidays, or so it's said. But between the jam-packed airports, flight delays, crowded roads, and fickleness of winter weather, traveling to said home might not always seem worth it.

Still, canceling your trip isn't really an option once you've got everything booked — and besides, you'll break your mom's heart if you tell her you can't make it this year. (She's making your favorite potato dumplings, after all.)

All things considered, the best you can do is attempt to make your seasonal trip as painless as possible — an endeavor that's as simple as picking up any of these traveler-friendly gadgets from the Mashable Shop. We'll even give you an extra 20% off your purchase if you enter the Cyber Monday coupon code CMSAVE20 at checkout.

Catch you on the flip side, checked baggage: A carry-on is all you need when you pack your belongings using the Dr. Save Vacuum kit, which features a pump that reduces the size of your soft goods by up to 70%. It's also great for prepping the warm-weather outfits you don't plan on wearing 'til next summer for storage, as it removes air containing moisture and odors during compression.

The hum of traffic, the buzz of an airplane's engines, and the shrieks of fussy babies are all no match for the Cowin E8 headphones, which use Active Noise Cancellation Technology and ergonomic ear cups to preserve the clear sounds of the music or podcast to which you're listening. With up to 20 hours of use on a single charge, you can count on them to last you through that long-haul flight.

Heading overseas for the holidays? First of all, lucky you. But more importantly, don't forget to pack an OMNIA TA502 Travel Adapter so your devices are always charged throughout your trip. The OMNIA features a slide-and-lock design with plugs that support outlets in more than 150 countries around the world.

Wish you could take your closet with you? Well, now you can: Constructed from water-resistant nylon fabric, the TUO folding travel organizer keeps your undergarments, socks, and other small items neatly packed throughout your travels. When you reach your destination, simply hang it up for easy access to your belongings.

Modeled after the traditional bento lunchboxes of Japan, the BentoStack is a multi-compartment storage container that organizes your Apple gadgets — devices, cords, and accessories alike — for convenient use on the go. As an added bonus, its bottom section can accommodate Apple's wall plugs in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, China, and Thailand.

As the world's first Bluetooth travel lock, the AirBolt is in a league of its own in terms of smart, secure travel. Not only does it keep your luggage locked tight (unless you open it using the companion smartphone app), but it can track your luggage for you, alert you when your belongings are removed from a certain area, and ping your luggage to help you find it fast.

Meet your new favorite travel companion: the Presidio Pack. Featuring 800D water-resistant polyester construction that can stand up to just about anything, the Presidio includes an impressive 16 pockets to store all your belongings; a foam back panel for extra comfort; and a charging cord port that lets you energize your devices anytime, anywhere.

Is your charger situation getting slightly out of hand? It happens to the best of us, TBH. Thankfully, there's a simple solution in the form of MobilePower's 3-Port Charger, a portable device that can replace the throngs of chargers you carry with you everywhere. It's got two high-speed USB ports and one USB-C port, plus wireless charging capabilities that work with any Qi-compatible device.

Ideal for the solo traveler or selfie zealot, the ARMOR-X Mini Flexible Phone Tripod can be wrapped around branches, posts, or railings, or set up on any surface — even bumpy, uneven ones — on your quest for the perfect angle. Just pick a spot, find your best side, and snap away using the included Bluetooth remote shutter.

If you need a separate suitcase just to carry all your cords, it's high time you pick up a Triton 3-in-1 Cable. Constructed with strong, durable braiding and featuring built-in USB to Lightning, USB Type-C, and micro USB connections, the Triton might very well be the only charging cord you'll ever need.
